You Have No Authority Here

Anime illustration in near-black and gold. In a dark stairwell a man shoulders a translucent rifle made of golden light, his mouth open mid-sentence, a thread of light running from his mouth into the weapon. From the muzzle a lance of golden letters reading YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY HERE streams up the stairs in perspective and bursts against a gaunt shadow-creature at the top.

The sentence is the ammunition. He speaks, the words leave the muzzle as a lance of gold, and the thing at the top of the stairs comes apart where they land.
